Effects of short-crestedness on wave loads on long structures
The effects are considered of short-crestedness of incident waves on the load which these exert on a long structure. The result is expressed as a frequency-dependent, directionally-averaged spectral multiplication factor for the load relative to the case of normally incident, long-crested waves. This is evaluated numerically for a cos2 θ-type directional incident spectrum, and various relative structure lengths. Calculated crest elevations, averaged over different lengths, agree well with the empirical ones, for ocean-wave data as well as for laboratory wind-wave data.
